Thanks for the update, my issue is not so much the price rise but the fact you have to pay for the full 12 games when there are only 10 at Brookie.Â I could almost cop it if all games were at Brookie, additionally the family tickets in the arko stand have gone up by $300 in last 2 years or 50%...

Whislt we have won a premiership in that time & the law of supply & demand dictate an increase I think in the current enviroment rises of that magnitude are a bit rich.Â The club might need the loyal members in the next few years if our on field performances start to wane as we go on a rebuilding programe.Â This is not the time that we should be putting people off membership.

There should be two options - one if you want to see the full 12 games plus the trials and the other just for the 10 games at brookie.Â

Also there should be another option on the membership renewal to opt out of receiving the cap, stickers and lanyard as there is no point (and a waste of money) sending this to people who don't want them.Â

I guess it doesn't matter to suits whether fans are accommodated or not.Â It's about the money really.Â I once thought that as the game was leaning more and more towards being a TV thing, virtual fans could be inserted into stadiums when games were being shown.Â No-one at home would know the difference and fans could just go jump.Â The clubs could then not need to bother about crowd numbers, and all the expense of having stadiums for the great unwashed.Â Â
